Community day with National Museums Scotland at Methilhill Primary and Community School

The National Museums Scotland have been working with a Primary 6 class from Methilhill Primary and Community School on a partnership project, funded by the Robertson Trust, since last March.  The class have been researching and devising their own resources on the theme of Africa, based on the collections of the museum.  This box of museum objects, complete with teachers notes (researched by the pupils) will then be available for general borrowing in the Fife area initially and then around Scotland.

On Thursday 2nd February, the pupils are hosting a community day at their school to show off their work and on their behalf I would like to invite you along.  The day will run 2.30pm – 3.30pm at the school and will feature a show of an exhibition set up by the pupils and an African drum performance by the children.
